A new International Speculative Fiction issue on the horizon

One of the best initiatives of speculative fiction
from the past few years is the birth of the webzine International Speculative
Fiction. Starting with April 2012 International Speculative Fiction showcased
articles focused on the science fiction and fantasy scenes from across the
world and from June 2012 began to release a free downloading magazine that
published mostly non-Anglophone short fiction. So far, International
Speculative Fiction released 3 issues featuring fiction written by Aliette de Bodard, Joyce Chng, Rochita
Loenen-Ruiz, Cristian Mihail-Teodorescu, Gerson Lodi-Ribeiro, Marian Truţă,
Nassau Hedron, Lavie Tidhar and Ken
Liu. The 4th issue of International Speculative Fiction is due
to be released on January, 25th and it shows an encouraging growth
for this excellent project. For the first time the readers can find four short
stories and a four non-fiction pieces, an article, an interview and two
reviews.
